“Short description

The Organiser of the competition is the Royal Society of Biology in the United Kingdom.

This year’s theme is “Communication”.

“ Your photograph could depict the sharing of information within and between different species, such as in the colouration of feathers, flowers and fur. You may want to focus on the messages portrayed in courtship behaviour or territorial displays.

Your image could illustrate the signs and signals that help us understand the condition of ecosystems.

We also welcome entries that explore this year’s theme at the molecular or cellular level, illustrating signalling and other processes only revealed to us with the aid of a microscope.

Each entrant can submit up to three photographs to the competition.
